press@hollywoodreporter.com (The Hollywood Reporter) — Fri, 25 May 2007 09:25:27 PDT

Content may be king again but cable is just getting started. Citi upped the industry, did Comcast validate the compliment? Stephen is mad as hell for the XM outage but maybe it is a little overblown. Consumers have accepted cable and internet outages over the years. What did Wall Street think? (TWX) (CBS) (CMCSA) (XMSR) (SIRI)

on high flying Marvel Entertainment http://www.marvel.com/ , but the stock
